When Rudolph Calvin Epps Jr. was charged in 2004 by Prince George's County police in the 2002 armed carjacking of a Greenbelt woman, he wrote a letter to court officials requesting a speedy trial. A federal judge already had sentenced him to spend 12 years in jail for several 2002 bank robberies, so he wrote, "I'm trying to hurry up and get [the local] case out of the way." Epps got more speed than he could have imagined. He was released from the county jail in April 2005 but never was handed back to federal authorities to serve the 12.5 years in jail. Epps went on to commit at least six more bank robberies the following year. On April 20, Epps was sentenced by Judge Peter J. Messitte in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland to serve more than 27 years in jail, starting with the 12.5 years for the original bank robbery conviction and followed by more than 15 years for the six bank robberies he carried out in 2006.
